NL East smack talk

[fightinfunbags]

Well I wish they didn't swing the bat a bit more that inning, 11 pitches.

Although to be fair Wallner got a juicy one and smoked it at Castellanos.

And what the fuck sending out number 78 and he can pitch! Usually you see number 78 and it has the expectation of crooked numbers

Castellanos being an average OF was a big surprise with that signing. I’d trade that though for a more consistent offensive player. The Phillies wouldn’t be shopping for OF right now if he produced there.

Yeah he's fallen off a cliff this year.

Might need to get a platoon lefty at least.

Casty has had a few good post season series that he's still valuable as an experienced bat.

SWR has been a huge surprise.

Was a pretty big prospect. Key part of the Berrios deal. But struggled in the high minors.

Still young. Doesnt have anything overpowering. So I keep expecting regression but he's been super stable this year. Usually his "bad starts" are one bad inning usually 2nd or 3rd time through. teams really struggle with him early in games.

Doesn't have put away stuff tho, so batters can really extend ABs

Hes gonna play everyday. I need somebody through trade to counteract him so Marsh and Rojas can platoon in CF.

Well, Twins have completely abandoned the make Wheeler work strategy.

Gonna have to hope for 7 scoreless from SWR plus the pen. Then win the late bullpen battle.

Turner did not read the scouting report....

He hit it too hard off the wall to stretch that.


Man…this offense is in a rut. Yuck city right now.

Yup gotta know Wallner has an absolute hose too.

Tough in the moment but also should know Harper is on deck and he's just getting walked anyways so only go 2 if you got it easy.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Can’t waste this Wheeler outing. They’ve lost 5 of the last 7 and he showed up tonight to be a stopper.

You and your friends have to go to more games so the Twins can afford the batteries for the pitch comm

psyche tactic

It worked.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Hey bullpen, thanks for only walking 3 and not 4 that inning. Fellas…Dave got the message. We need pen. You don’t need to belabor the point.

Coulda been more but Castro is back to being a role player talent playing every day. Swung at junk.

And on the strike throwing side. Old man Santana missed an absolute meatball. SMH.

Blew their chance. Here comes the implosion and the Phillies W

Alvarado could give it right back unless this is Strahm’s try out for the closer role.

This was a game of chicken and the Twins blinked. Rubber match tomorrow. Was amazing to me to see the variation in lineups from yesterday to today.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Phils already have left 5 on base through 2 innings.

Festa showing some of his strike out stuff at the right time. We dodged a lot of bullets. Starting Okert was mental

Also, umps still will never be held accountable. Wallner just got absolutely fucked. And so did our inning

Yeah it’s time for robot umps.

Good to see the trimmed down version of Kyle Schwarber, singles hitting Schworzempic finally come through.
